If you do rent another and if Hertz eventually does start stocking/renting the performance models maybe try one.
The 3 and Y Performance models are quite a bit quicker- especially out of the hole.

I posted up Good things about the Y .


Here are some bad things.

Still wish it had a center display.
The seats are comfortable to me , Not so much for the wife. Had to buy seat cushions so the seat (She says the passenger and rear seats are far to firm and with the sports suspension exacerbates the issue on long drives.
Does not seem comfortable for her.

One of the cushions - if used will not turn on the air bags for the passenger. Not Good.

The vision system that judges distances for parking are really flawed and inaccurate.
I do not trust it to not have the car ding the front bumper.
The ap that tracks energy use does not track losses and use from the power company. It does show what actually makes it into the battery

Winter will be interesting on longer trips and I would not be surprised to see a full 30 % shortfall of Tesla's advertised range. So maybe 200 of the 300 miles they advertise.

My car came out of Fremont, The same Fremont that produced most of the GTO's I had over the years actually like that.
There were two defects when closing the hood the T emblem area distorts. I could tell Tesla tried to adjust the hood since they had added paint to the hood nuts. My car also had a small dimple in the roof rail.

No way I would trust a Tesla service center to "fix" a paint issue n a multi coat pearl paint.
Readjusted the hood myself and just let the small dimple go. Pretty sure that was the right decision since there have been some real horror stories about being picky and then the service center making things much worse.
My car did have very good panel alignment, nicely laid on paint, with no orange peal or metallic mottling of any kind, also no squeaks or rattles or other defects.

Updates can be a step backward. One caused phantom braking when pine tree shadows were across the road. Wipers that turned on on a clear day. Both of those were only when the auto steer/ cruise were engaged.
As a final point my wife says she will never even drive the car, let alone would ever want to own one. It makes her nervous and likes standard controls for things like headlights heater ac controls or the nav. cant argue those points either.
I have also used foul language at the car while driving at certain times.

ps. Sorry if my comments were a cause of near thread closure- will try to refrain from anything political
